Hika—

Thanks!!  That was getting me on my way.  But, it would not stay between viewings, so I had to turn off using separate ratios for GUI and playback, and then had to change the “AdjustFill” value from 6 to 0 in the database itself.  I couldn’t find where it was in the setup, and that was fast.

All is well.  Thanks again!

Mike
